when my hubby and i drove around australia a few years ago we were absolutly amazed at the amount of rubbish 

i cannot understand how people can drive around this wonderful country and not appreciate it 

i would like to see everyone who does it be made to work for a few days picking it all up

it was heartbreaking to know it will all still be there (and more) for ever

Katy, it didn't only happen in a fly-speck town.  The blardy kids did it everywhere.  Extra enclosures had to be paid for to stop it from happening.  There went the profits of the shopkeeper for selling the drinks. Just plain theft.

Having visited the Top End recently they could do with a similar scheme there,  although the remote communities are the main offenders I think they could benefit from it and at the same time it might  instill a bit of civic pride.

I have only ever been to one "community" where there was no rubbish and everything was generally clean and tidy.

And that was because the elder was like that.

And I am not talking just communities where whites can go, I am talking off limit areas where whites are not allowed to go

- from observations over 15+ years of visiting them.

However, it was explained to me this way once. For XX,XXX thousand years, Aboriginals would throw away rubbish and

it would be recycled by the ground - bones, skins etc. The culture just hasn't caught up with rubbish yet !!!

I think it is going to be a long time coming before it changes.

So mankind as I understand it, has found a use for by-product of fuel i.e. plastic.  

When fuel "dries up" will that mean plastic won't be around?

Aps-went to a Bachelors and Spnisters Ball in the Lions Villiage hall.

Was in the early 1990s--one of the best nights ive ever had.

Think the music was provided by Jock Strap and his elastic band..........Richo.
